There’s a lot out there. Some websites contain accurate information : some have opinions based on facts while some don’t ; some modify facts to arrive at wrong conclusions; some allow you to comment on the subject, most don’t: some lead to more research while others supply the answer to the question asked.
In starting the list of websites in this post I decided to include some on the US Postal Service as I think that what happens to Post Office employees not only affects all current federal workers, but all injured federal workers as well.

About LINK #1
The authors in their article on federal compensation reform appear to be regurgitating arguments in support of removing 3000 federally injured workers from compensation for injury on the job and placing them on retirement as if nothing had happened.
HOWEVER In reference to S261 COMPENSATION REFORM BILL of 2011 they state that this bill is not going forward.

This link gives the true reason why the Post Office is in financial trouble: retirement funding imposed by congress: which means that the proposals to cut employee pay and benefits is nothing but a red herring to cover up what really needs to be done — undo the law that caused the problem in the first place.
Link #5– Listed November 12-2011 This website is for investors yet in this one posting it details the income and perks of the people in Congress some of whom are trying to decrease benefits for postal workers, both working and injured at work.http://www.investinganswers.com/a/5-financial-perks-congress-you-wont-believe-are-legal-3819?utm_source=NL-WidgetsIA&utm_medium=EMAIL&U=1873892&utm_campaign=IA_InvestingAnswers_Investor_Advocate_–_11

Well worth checking into. Representative Darrell Issa as shown by a recap of his speech to the Heritage Foundation was promoting “Postal Reform” in October of 2010. The comments that follow present valid arguments in response to his suggestions on “Postal Reform” He is still pursuing his agenda on a committee that has voted on S1789 .

A current list of bills regarding the postal service. similar to HR2309. Even when a bill never reaches Congress for a vote another bill is proposed by the same members of congress to do away with the “generous” pay and benefits for federal workers, those working and those no longer able to do so.

I’ve only watched the ED show video on this link but plan to watch the other videos in defense of the USPS. The fact is that the post office would be showing a surplus had it now been for a bill passed BY CONGRESS mandating that the USPS fund 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10. This can’t be repeated too often. http://www.youtube.com/user/apwucommunications
I am trying to find out if there are any postal workers out there that had knee injuries. Having problems. Please email me.
